Superb looking build so far Bish - I'm loving the extra detail. It is a nice looking base kit though - even more detail than the DC-3 I'm making.
What did you think of the Phantom?

Cheers guys. I am really enjoying this and very glad Airfix have brought their kits up to date. I used to avoid them, now i look forward to new releases.
Portman, i really liked it, great detail and went together really well. Only down side was the decals, 250+ of them. I already have the FGR.2 and will be getting the next FG.1 with RAF markings.

Short update on the 111. Most of the construction is done. I did have some issues with the fit of the outer lower wings and the engines. The latter i think caused by the former. I hate it when i have issues with a kit that are not mentioned in reviews as it makes me think i have done something wrong. And is often the case, i can't figure out what. But after some filling and sanding it all in place.
The bomb bay doors are also a bit small, but that deffinetly is not something i have done.
A few bits of PE to add and the canopy to fit and mask and it will be ready for painting.

Looks great Bish. Can't tell that you had a problem at all.

It turned out great! In box reviews praise kits as excellent builds some times but the reviewed does not even build it! Itching to start my 111!
